Picked up early Monday morning. Both aisles were very sparse.

Emerald Aisle had a CrossTrek, a Corolla, and multiple Camry LEs. However, some of the Camrys were brand new 2023s put into service this month or last month based on the safety inspection sticker. One I looked at had just 199 miles on it.

Executive was not much better in terms of quantity. Some Camry LEs (including low mileage 2023 models), a refreshed 2023 Altima SV, several Pacifica minivans including one plug-in hybrid, a 300, a Passat, and a 2023 Highlander.

I had a full-size reservation and I was hoping for a Highlander. This is the first time I've seen Highlanders in EAN's fleet. Last year was the first time I saw RAV4s in the fleet. Unfortunately, they went with the absolute base model for the Highlander, the L grade. No blind-spot monitor, no power liftgate, no alarm. Fortunately, all grades get the new Toyota infotainment system which supports wireless Apple CarPlay. The turbo-4 has enough power, but it sure sounds like a Corolla when accelerating (not a complement).

Which one should you take? Look at the license plate and the safety inspection sticker on the bumper. The one on the right is a brand new 2023.
